NAME

Ubic::Manual::Intro - Initial introduction

VERSION

version 1.57

DESCRIPTION

Ubic is a polymorphic service manager.

It can run any program as a service and provides frontend script ubic to manage services.

Polymorphic means that ubic can use various pluggable backends for managing services, for configuring services and even for describing a list of all services. Don't panic, it offers easy-to-use default solutions for the common tasks out-of-the-box too!

Ubic includes a centralized watchdog process which checks every service periodically and brings them back online if necessary.
